Where is the evidence, the verifiable evidence for evolution? Where is the missing link? Just one fossil as evidence and evolution would be the winner.
Mountains and mountains of fossils over millions of years........and scientists cant even find ONE.
Your so smart.......where are they?

Plenty of fossils, plenty of "links".
And if we don't have them, they must be underfoot, eh? (Of course, I am assuming you realize that not every creature to ever exist is fosslized, right? You know that fossilization is rare occurence, and we are lucky to have as many of them as we do now, right?).

Gad, what brazen mendacity! How the frell can she put these sentences back to back and not have her own skull implode?
"Criticize the Bible all you want, you have that right."
Thanks ever so much.

Right-o.
"Where is the evidence, the verifiable evidence for evolution?"
It's in these things called "books" and "journals." If you can manage to change the channel from the 700 Club you can even find a watered down version of it on television.
"Where is the missing link?"
Missing link between what? The term "missing link" is much like "theory" in that it doesn't mean quite what everyone thinks it does.
"Just one fossil as evidence and evolution would be the winner."
Go to a fucking museum. They have way more than one fossil.
"Mountains and mountains of fossils over millions of years........and scientists cant even find ONE."
M-U-S-E-U-M. Can you say that word?
"Your so smart.......where are they?"
Go to the Smithsonian and have a look around.

There are gobs of 'em.
Doughgirl, you have been lied to. Repeatedly.
"Creationists are the liars, freely slinging mud at all who cross their peculiarly myopic view of the world." - Niles Eldredge, The Monkey Business
Tiktaalik, Cynognathus, Haikouichthys, Eoraptor, Saturnalia, Eocursor, Scutellosaurus, Archaeopteryx, Ichthyornis, Australopithecus, Dilong, Euparkeria, Protosuchus, Pakicetus, Ambulocetus...
I could list a lot more.
Evolutionist :
Creationist : Note that there are no numbers in between those two. They're missing!
Evolutionist :
Creationist : But what's between the 2nd and 3rd numbers? Nothing!
Evolutionist : you must have a hard time moving anywheres. Because first you have to move half the distance, then half of the distance that remains, then half of the distance that remains...
At this point, I think it would be apt to point out this YouTube video entitled "What Every Creationist Must Deny":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nj587d5ies
In particular, from 3:00 to 5:33 it lists a large number (~50 maybe?) of transitional fossils from jawless fish to humans, and a few other things along the way. Even to those of us who accept evolution, I think that list is quite impressive.
I can see the conversation in my mind...
Doughgirl: Hi! Where is the missing link?the missing link. It's so silly. They just need to find this one thing to show evolution is true, but they can't.the missing link.the missing link! The one and only missing link and you say you don't know what I'm talking about? Ha! You are the scientist! You are the one who is supposed to know what it is!
"Where is the missing link?"
When a link is found, it is no longer a missing link.
I can just see Doughgirl trying to find her missing car keys.
Doughgirl: I can't find my missing keys
etc.
There is evidence. Just because you dismiss it, or ignore it does not mean the evidence doesn't exist. If that method worked, we would ignore you, then you wouldn't exist.
mostly in museums and in some cases I suppos ebeing studied in labs and such. As you said, mountains and mountains of fossils. Many of them are 'missing links' it's just that you get down to the mathematical falcity of halving your way from one place to another and never being able to reach it because you can cut every number in half and never reach the next whole number.
Where is the evidence, the verifiable evidence for evolution? Where is the missing link? Just one fossil as evidence and evolution would be the winner.
We've all been over this many times; there is no single "missing link" as you would interpret it, because evolution is a gradual process. Every time we provide a new fossil halfway between two others in terms of development, you morons insist it's a distinct species and promptly ask for two more "missing links" either side of it. To anyone sufficiently intelligent to grasp the fundamentals of differential calculus, it will be instantly obvious that this is a ludicrous demand that cannot ever be satisfied, despite the validity of the data.
Your so smart
My so smart what?
I shall criticize the Bible. I have that right. Others can follow it. They have that right.
They are around. Some in museums, others being tested for age and examined.
Rational Person: "Here are thousands of fossils that could all be considered a 'link'"
Fundie: "No nope no no nope, none of those are THE missing link.

Your You're so smart.......where are they?
Museums, the Smithsonian, private collections.
Most lifeforms that have ever lived have disintegrated totally, otherwise we would be neck-deep in dead bodies.
There are fossils everywhere, in museums, in schools, in science labs, in lots of offices (an ancient fossil can be an object of art, and kind of cool too).
The pepper moth, for example. When London air was blackish the pepper moth was rather black too, now when the air is clearer, the moth is paler.
I've seen fossils in museums, and I live in a small country. Larger countries probably have more museums with more fossils in them. Apparently scientist have found many fossils.
You're definitely NOT smart.
“If I ignore every piece of evidence you show me, that means that you have no evidence. So I win!”
Is this the thought process here?
You are. No, seriously, any person (any animal, any creature, any fossil) who has children is the missing link between parents and children. Your parents are the missing link between you and your grandparents. EVERYBODY is a link in that chain. If you have no children, then you're the end of that chain ...but the chain stretches back into history to your parents, your grandparents, your great-grandparents...on and on.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
